Yumiko Iihoshi designs and oversees the manufacture of porcelain tableware which combines the use of moulds for uniformity, with hand glazing by artisans, to ensure each piece has a sense of individuality. Her ranges exist on the boundary between handmade and conventional porcelain. The elegant lines and unique palettes are designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, and to inspire people to reflect and reminisce about times gone by.
